Love is not to be purchased and affection has no price :))))?

Question

I agree but some people do put a price on it and DO you think they have great lives in the end??????????????

Answer 1

Your statement is right on, and it is the love that is true.

Answer 2

Economically speaking, affection does have a price...
for instance... how much would you have to be paid to spend a little less time with your loved one?

Most people will arrive at some amount for a little bit of time. Push them a bit more and they will accept an even greater amount for the next unit of time, and so on... There may be a limit to this, but with each unit of time purchased they get closer and closer to losing affection entirely as loved ones feel more and more neglected.

This situation happens all the time in the real world. If you believe love is more than a feeling, it is an action, then it too needs to be purchased with opportunity costs of not working. You then spend that valuable and valued time with your partner.

Sad but true... Please forgive me, but my logic over-rules my romanticism this time.

It's when you realize that love is purchased, affection does have a price and knowing how much you value both, that you can maximize your utility (happiness) in life.

Peace

Answer 3

This can be taken all sorts of ways.
Love is not to be purchased,however when we love someone very often we want to "purchase" them something rather extravagant,as a token of affection,not necessarily to "buy" their love,but to show gratitude for their "being" who they are.
What we really want to give them is the element of surprise,and ourselves the excitement for watching that take place.
As long as this is not "mandatory" from the receiving party,or felt necessary for the sake of the relationship from the party that is "giving.
Very often affection does have a "price" and it can be very steep,if you happen to fall deeply in love and end up broken hearted then a rather large price will be paid,I believe.
For those who are "shallow" putting a price on love,and affection,do I think they can be happy in the end....H*ll no!! Not if they go about things that way.....

Answer 4

I don't think they have great lives. If someone is trying to purchase love and affection, they are not really getting what they paid for. They are getting the illusion. Once the illusionist becomes accustomed to the money or the person can't afford to pay for it anymore, there won't even be the illusion of love left to speak of.

Answer 5

People who put a price on love are only masking the truth and are depriving themselves of true affection.So therefore they are not truly happy in the end ,because it is all make believe.

Answer 6

Of course not. But think about it for a second. How come love does not love anybody, Rena

Answer 7

I can be affectionate for a price. How much affection do want/need? it is only a behaviour towards another after all.

Answer 8

You can't buy love, but you can't rent all you want very easily.
